3 stars The Best Of ............... Not really
The Best Of.........not really Lesley Gore had only 4 Top Ten Hit's in the USA and only two of them appear here

It's My Party #1 5/63 and You Don't Own Me #2 12/63 her other two Top Ten hit's are missing from here. Judy's Turn To Cry #5 July 7/63 and She's A Fool also #5 9/63 so If there are only going to be 11 tracks on this CD take off Brink Of Disaster her last hit #82 10/67 and All of my Life #71 3/65.

Magic Colors, Off and Running, What am I gonna do with you didn't even chart so no this sould NOT be called The Best of.......Lesley Gore
